BSc (Hons) Sociology
In a world where mobile phones are connecting everyone, why do people feel further apart from each other? Why is it that in a world with more diversity, conservative attitudes are on the rise? Cities are becoming more and more important – but who are going to be the winners and losers in living in and using these cities? Artificial intelligence offers many improvements in life, but what is it doing to how we consume, vote, work, and even maintain relationships? Sociology at LSBU provides you with the opportunity to engage with these, and many other contemporary issues such as globalisation, gender, religion, sexuality, identity formation, nationalism and more.
Here at LSBU, we will help you focus on your future by offering the opportunity to do a work placement that matches your interests. We will develop your abilities as investigators of social life in London and beyond by using everything from interviews to videos, and we will develop your skills and confidence in key areas to help you turn your degree into an excellent career.
By the end of your time at LSBU you will have a balance of theory, practice and experience, which will deepen your understanding of yourself and the world, and, what is more, give you the tools to be active agents in that world.
We offer the opportunity for all undergraduate 91麻豆精品/EU students to undertake a work placement, internship or work experience while studying a full-time course starting in September 2020.
